It would be helpful if you could also include the code for the <likert> element(s) etc. The snippet you posted seems very much incomplete.
What I can say already is that you should define any /fontstyle in percentages

/font = ("Arial", -24, 700, 0, 49)

should rather be something along the lines of

/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%, ...)

as well as any /size and /position attributes.

/size = (500, 70)

should rather be something along the lines of

/size = (75%, 20%)

(or whatever fits your needs)

Dave,  I am also having the same issue on Inquisit 4 and I am trying to figure out what percentages to use so that it fits the screen correctly.  Can you please be more specific on what needs to be changed?  I have a 9-point likert scale and I am only seeing response keeps for 3, 4, and 5 on my 13" macbook screen. 

I think this is the relevant script you would need:

<defaults>
/screencolor = (175, 255, 175)
/font = ("Arial", -24, 700, 0, 49)
/txbgcolor=(255,255,255)
</defaults>

<text SymbolicRacismScaleqs>
/size = (500, 70)
/items = SymbolicRacismScaleqs
/position = (30, 30)
/halign = center
/select = sequence


Thank you for your patience with my ignorance to this issue.  

That's probably because the participant is running the script on a small display with a low resolution. In such cases, elements may extend beyond screen boundaries if you have not taken proper precautions (defining all sizes and positions as percentages and/or working with the <defaults> element's /canvassize and /canvasaspectratio attributes).

You can use the above-mentioned attributes as well as /windowsize to test how your script will look across different resolutions and aspect ratios on your own machine.
